AVON/JUSTINE BACK TO WORK CONFERENCE - JAN 2011 Avon/Justine SCC

M PRODUCTIONS was fortunate in working with AVON/JUSTINE on a fantastic project involving spectacular ideas for their annual Back to Work Conference.

This year, the conference was held at the SANDTON CONVENTION CENTRE. The Bill Gallagher Room was used for the day conference sessions, with 6x breakaway rooms in the Boardrooms at SCC.

The Gala Dinner was held in Ballroom 3&4 with a New York theme as the backdrop for the event. M PRODUCTIONS together with INTENSE DESIGN and PENMAC, put together a concept and stage design of international standards.

The Stage, supplied by INTENSE DESIGN, consisted of a 4x Level stage with Stretch covered pannels on stage, with two 5m x 20m stretch screens on both sides of the Ballroom.  PENMAC supplied the projection with a video stitched wall using 6x projectors and “Watchout” software, to create a slow revolving New York Skyline.

M PRODUCTIONS supplied the rest of the technical.  The sound consisted of an AD Systems Line Array flown from the roof, together with a complete Backline and Monitoring system on stage.

Intelligent Lighting was flown from the roof as well as supported from trussing totems covered by totem socks. A total of over 50 LED parcans were used in the production.

 Audio Visual consisted of two 3,5m x 4,5m aluminium trussing screens flown from the roof with Sanyo XP200 projectors  used for rear projection.  AV control consisted of a Data Video Mixer, live video feed together with two 50” plasma screens on stage for presenter preview monitors.

 Backline was supplied for a performance by GARTH TAYLOR AND HIS SWING BAND mixed on a Yamaha LS9 Digital sound desk.

Thank you once again to Jaco from INTENSE DESIGN and Malcolm from PENMAC, in helping us to give AVON/JUSTINE a night to remember!

M PRODUCTIONS goes Line Array - April 2010

M PRODUCTIONS has taken the leap and invested in an AD Systems Line Array.  This 25kW system offers extreme SPL and exceptional quality all in a compact and lightweight package.

The CLA-2 Array Mids/Tops offer a passive 2-way loudspeaker system loaded with a 10” low/mid Neodym loudspeaker and two 1” Neodym compression drivers mounted on AD Systems unique VLAT coupler.

The vertical line array transformer (VLAT) creates a highly defined vertical dispersion and allows a splay angle of up to 120 degrees. Combined with our 10” low/mid Neodym loudspeaker, the CLA-2/D can operate in full range mode down to 70 Hz.

Our system offers also 4x 1600W tripple chamber vented double 15"Ground Stacked or Flown Bass Cabinets as well as 4x 2000W Double 18"Sub-Bass Cabinets producing 138db each, to kick the living daylights out of any event!

NSTF Awards Gala Dinner - 26 May 2009

Outstanding contributions to science, engineering, technology and innovation (SETI) were acknowledged at the 11th National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) Awards gala dinner, held at the Emperor’s Palace, Kempton Park.

These Awards are unique in that they recognize all SETI practitioners across the system of innovation, including not only researchers, but also individuals who have contributed in other ways; teams who have developed innovations through organizations and institutions; individuals who have played a valuable mentorship role for young researchers, and science communicators.

Over 500 VIP guests attended this prestigious event including the Minister of Science and Technology Naledi Pandor who congratulated all the award winners in her first official apearance in the new cabinet.

M PRODUCTIONS supplied all the Technical for this event including 2x massive 3,5m x 4,5m aluminium trussing screens from the roof of the Arena. We used 2x 5500 Lumens XP57 Data Projectors form the roof for Projection, as well as an SD500 AV Desk with a Live Video Feed to the Screens. 

For Sound we used our 6kW Yorkville Elite PA System with a Soundcraft GB2 Sound Desk and 2x Shure SM58 SLX2 Wireless Microphones. Lighting consisted of 10x OBY5 Moving Head Profiles and 6x OBY600 Moving Head Washes that was flown from the roof.  The Set-up was made easy using our WDMX Wireless DMX system.

M PRODUCTIONS also supplied the NSFT with Pre- and Post Production Audio Visual DVD's using Final Cut Pro.
